So I have several old systems, and I have swapped out every component. This is using Windows XP (required for the game I am playing) They are all Nvidia video cards. 9800 GTX+ and Quadro 4000. Old drivers (they have to be to support these cards). On a 27 inch led monitor all is fine. But I like 16:10 and the only monitors I can find are LCD + led backlight.
So, here is what happens. It loads windows, then loads the game, then all goes black, and the only way to see the screen is to reboot. It will do it every time. This is the oddest problem I have ever seen. And it worked for years. Just a week or so ago, it started doing this all of a sudden.
